First and foremost (for the 4 letter freaks out there) the value of this site has nothing to do with the domain. Nothing, nada, zilch. The value of the website and the traffic attached to the domain is a direct result of the owners work developing the content.
In simple words the domain xkcd.com was worthless (not even worth the registration fee) when the owners first bought it but now its worth more than many premium domains.
This is a pure example of what you can do if you can’t afford a kickstart to development by purchasing a premium domain. Parking has many limitations (from dependence on revenue shares and ad partners to slow growth rates) but unique content can trump a good domain every day.
565,000 visitors a month according to compete.
A compete rank of # 1,528 …. Yes, almost in the top 1,500 sites in the world!
Warning – for the sensitive folks, some humor may be distasteful however I’m sure you will still click through and complain.
